Tomkitten - There are some who feel that I sing charmingly sweet, but my critic's conscience will not allow me to agree with them. I've neglected my voice shamefully over the last twenty years or so. I sing mainly on canoe trips, which at least keeps the bears away.
I read A Walk In The Woods about 5 years ago when I was on vacation in Maine and I thought it was a great book. I found it boring at times, but not enough to make me want to put it down. It was funny to say the least :-D
Walk in the Woods

I have pulled a Bryson from my stack of unread books to take on the subway this week. That is, if I manage to finish Driving over Lemons first. I love to read travel books on the subway - it's a process thing, I guess.
Walk in the Woods
Elegant Fowl - what a great site! I look forward to a lot of good reading on it.

The untold story. The director's cut. Steamy tales of the world's longest footpath.
Don't waste your time. I was trying to be funny. Walk in the Woods is about as erotic as Microsoft's annual report to its shareholders.
) country, and Australians generally have a very dry, understated humour, quite different to that of the US. Bill Bryson seemed to understand that humour as few North Americans do. I often feel I should wave a "JOKE" sign when I make a joke.
